Jewelry to Share with Sisters and Friends
In just a few weeks, on August 2nd, we will be celebrating National Friendship Day and National Sister’s Day. This is a day to show your love to those closest to you, reach out to old friends you haven’t spoken to in a while, or make new connections! Even in the age of social distancing, you can still connect with others. Whether that means simply making a phone call, video chatting, or finding an online community to join. For a more personal touch, consider sending a friend a homemade gift basket or a handwritten letter. No matter how you choose to celebrate this day, we hope it is full of love and joy!
National Friendship Day was originally founded by Hallmark and is celebrated the first Sunday of every August. The United States also made July 30th International Friendship Day. This means you can celebrate your friendships twice in the same week! Similarly, National Sister’s Day is also celebrated the first Sunday of every August and it is as timeless as Mother’s and Father’s Day, just publicized less. Even if a holiday doesn’t appear on a calendar, like Sister’s and Friendship Day, that does not diminish its significance. So, to remind your sister(s) and friend(s) that they are important to you every day of the year and not just on a special holiday, give them a gift as everlasting as your love – a stunning piece of friendship/sister jewelry.
Interlocking Jewelry
As young children, we’d give our BFFs friendship bracelets and necklaces. These cute little gifts were always connected to each other: one bracelet would say “Best” another would say “Friends” or the pendants would perfectly fit together, like two sides of one heart or friendship puzzle pieces. As an adult, we can appreciate the sentimentality and charm of those jewelry sets, but now, we want something more substantial. And since people always say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, diamond jewelry must be the most symbolic gift to give your best friend!
LDD413-W, a cable chain diamond bracelet, is a perfect grown-up substitute for a friendship bracelet. Chains represent a strong bond that is nearly impossible to break. They interlock together, like how you, your friends’, and sisters’ lives connect – you are each an independent link that is part of a larger chain of relationships. This bracelet is also a wonderful shared gift because it has an extension, so even if you and your friends are different sizes, the bracelet will fit you both beautifully. If bracelets aren’t your style, consider getting its matching 14K white gold diamond earrings or ring for a similar mature yet dazzling friendship chain jewelry look.
Sister jewelry uses design themes just like friendship jewelry: the pieces feature pendants that lock together or say, “Big Sis” and “Lil Sis.” The main difference is that sister jewelry is typically more mature and higher quality because it is an adult trend. Therefore, to raise the bar on this already sensible jewelry, consider buying you and your sister(s) PDD2761-W. This elegant diamond necklace features two linked leaf-shaped outlines. The smaller leaf (symbolic of the younger sibling) is completely embellished with diamonds, while the larger leaf (symbolic of the older sibling) is half polished gold and half diamond-accented. The leaves are also perfect for sisters because leaves grow off the same branch, or in other words, the same family tree. It is a lovely and natural, yet sparkling representation of the bond shared between sisters.
Multi-Gold Colors
CDD3103
Friendship jewelry often features the same pendant in multiple colors as well. This way, everyone who is part of the group gets their favorite color, while still feeling connected to their friends. For a fine jewelry alternative, consider getting a piece of jewelry that either comes in multiple gemstone colors or metal colors, like CDD3103 which comes in 14K yellow, white, and rose gold. These rings have an elegant crisscrossing design that symbolizes how your life intertwines with your friends’ or sisters’ lives. This is the same reason woven nylon friendship bracelets have been popular for decades – crisscrossing and intertwining different strands personify the beauty of different people coming together, bonded by time, dedication, and love. Therefore, by gifting a sister or friend a simple yet stunning piece of crisscrossing jewelry, they will always feel special and treasured.
ESS003
ESS003 is a more playful and affordable option if you want to get your friend(s) or sister(s) jewelry that comes in multiple gold colors. These dangling ball earrings come in sterling silver, 14K yellow gold plated sterling silver, and 14K rose gold plated sterling silver. The earring design is perfect for a girls’ night out, where you can have a fun and flirty time with those closest to you. The earrings’ matching necklaces are also a great gift for sisters and friends. The necklaces have a more casual look, which is perfect for everyday wear. The most complicated aspect of gifting out these shimmering spheres is figuring out who gets which gold color!
Just imagine how many likes your group selfie will get when you are all wearing the same beautiful jewelry with the hashtag #NationalFriendshipDay or #NationalSistersDay! It will be another wonderful memory you can cherish for years to come.
Modern Representations of Love
Sisters might not always get along, but you are forever connected by either DNA or your upbringing. Similarly, friends might falter with time and distance, but you are forever connected by your shared experiences. In the long run, sisterhood and friendships can be complicated, with ups and downs, but in the end, love always wins. Even if the world has separated us over time, if we keep our minds and hearts open, we can always embrace those important to us. Therefore, an open-heart necklace, like PDD3004-W, would be a wonderful gift for a sister or friend. This modern geometric necklace features a delicate diamond outline of a heart. Its design is simple, but its impact is strong. Think of the necklace as a symbolic way to hold your sister or friend’s love close to your heart, no matter how far apart you are.
A piece of jewelry is but a physical manifestation and reminder of how you feel about those closest to you – it should not act as a replacement for authentic connection. So, when the first Sunday of August comes along, don’t just give your sister(s) or best friend(s) some glistening jewelry, also give them some of your time and energy. It is the little things in life that make our lives happy, so a simple conversation and sharing a few laughs will do wonders for you both.
